Strange short stories
A weird collection of strange stories made even weirder by the odd narrating style of Cathy Dobson. Because of this I found it hard to concentrate on the stories themselves.

Stories ruined by narration
Would you try another book written by the authors or narrated by Cathy Dobson?
Everrrrry woord is soooo longggg - The narration is so annoying with every word dragged out....it really makes this inaudible although a shame because some of the stories are not bad.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Completely! - The narrator is awful! I gave this a 1 STAR because of the narrator - could not listen to the stories....
Any additional comments?
Avoid books from this narrator
